Welcome to Houston!

Welcome to day 3 of Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference 2013. And what a busy day we have lined up for you!

 

Building on yesterday's end-to-end product session, today's focus is on how you can plan and build your business. Firstly, at 1:30 p.m., prepare to be inspired in the Microsoft Dynamics GP and SL: New opportunities to build your business session, where you can learn about the new opportunities you should consider as you look at your business planning for the next 12 months - including key topics such as the Web Client, Business Analyzer, RapidStart Services for Microsoft Dynamics GP, Windows Azure, and Office 365.

 

Then go deep in two strategic business areas that could help propel your business forward and sharpen your competitive edge. First up, at 3 pm, is How to sell Office 365 together with Microsoft Dynamics GP, NAV and SL. This session will provide detailed guidance on how the increasing level of integration with Microsoft Office 365 has created a new opportunity for you to boost your bottom line by offering Office 365 to your customers. Hear about the combined sales motion, Office 365 pricing and licensing, available resources, and best practices from other Microsoft Dynamics partners.

 

Then at 4:30 p.m. don't miss Heading into the Future with the Windows Azure Cloud for insight and information on opportunities to offer Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Dynamics GP, hosted in the cloud on Windows Azure infrastructure services. Learn about the model, business best practices, pricing and licensing approaches, technical resources, top lessons learned, and more.

 

As well as being packed with valuable information, all three sessions offer the chance to win fantastic prizes, so come along, and be sure to stay until the end!
